| Sumario: | This reflection article aims to present some considerations on the relevance of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) for the study of masculinities. It is based on the proposal of van Dijk (1999) and the multidisciplinary potential of the CDA to expand the hermeneutical act on the subject of masculinities. Pointing out that the discourse influences the masculinization of the subject through the circulation of metaphors in everyday life and that they operate at the subjective level to establish gender asymmetries. It is observed that masculinity, as a result of the historicity of human practice, is not a static identity, so there is a horizon of possibilities to break the alienating discourses of the supposed gender truth politics. The contribution ends by warning that it does not seek to idealize counterhegemonic discourses, but to strengthen the epistemic framework on the subject of masculinities
